Automatic Stitch-Fold & Trim
Providing high volume users with consistent accuracy and reliability
The Automatic Stitch-Fold and Trim are the professional choice for high
production stitching, folding and trimming online to Watkiss collators.
Fully Integrated Controls
The change over from one booklet size to another is fully automated.
A single control panel operates the entire process - collating,
stitching, folding and trimming. This allows job-wide set up which is
faster and easier for the operator.
- All the settings for sheets size, fold and stitch position, book
thickness and trim margin are set to within 0.1mm from the colour touch screen.
- Pre-defined settings for standard sheets
sizes make setup fast, precise and easy.
- Additional memories store
custom jobs settings for future use.
Compact Size
Don’t be deceived by its compact size, for inside the rugged
Stitch-Fold are side-fed stitch-heads and a powerful knife folder. The
entire unit is very compact, and when used online to Watkiss Vario
collators, it fits underneath the collating tower, requiring no
additional floor space.
Top Feeding
The Stitch-Fold is unique in having a near vertical infeed of the
collated set into the unit. This results in excellent sheet knock-up
which, followed by tamping at the end and on both sides, ensures well
aligned sheets and professional looking books every time. Different
sheet sizes can be included - for example, a loose A4 (8½x11") sheet
inside an A4 booklet.
Robust Trimmer
The robust trimmer assembly will easily trim 50 sheets. The trim blade
is made of high speed steel and has a self sharpening scissor action.
 Hand Feeding
The unit can be used off-line for hand feeding and will
auto-start when a set is fed in. An optional hand-feed guide and offline
control panel is available.
 Added
Value
Add value to finished booklets by applying a SquareBack™ finish with the
Watkiss SpineMaster - either on or offline. |
